6 Things From History Everyone Pictures Incorrectly
The Perception:
So already it's pretty clear that if we don't have photos laying around of the historical period in question, we're basically just guessing. And that's interesting considering how many figures from the distant past we think we have a perfectly clear image of. For instance, ninjas looked like this:
Vikings looked like this:
And as anyone who's ever attended a Thanksgiving event at an American grade school knows, pilgrims looked like this:
The Reality:
The ninja outfit is ridiculous, if you think about it. If you're an assassin and your job is to blend in, you don't do that by dressing in a black bodysuit that screams "ninja" from a mile away. So, they dressed like normal people--workers, monks, merchants, basically anything that looked as un-ninja as humanly possible was the perfect disguise. This way, they could sneak around unnoticed, day or night.
Hidden inside those bushels are like a million katanas.
On rare occasions when they needed to move through the dark undetected, they still didn't wear black. Dark blue is the color you want if you want to blend in at night; someone in all black would stand out like a silhouette.
As for the Vikings, the one single thing we know them for--wearing huge horns on their helmets--isn't true. They just wore regular helmets, not anything fancy. Here's some advice: If you want a career in something that requires a lot of hand-to-hand combat, don't wear anything that's easy for people to grab onto. This is why when cops wear ties, they wear clip-ons. It's also why you don't want something on your hat that is essentially a giant set of handlebars.
Viking helmets: built for sensible pillaging.
As for the pilgrims, they were simple, farming folk, and as such wore clothes that made sense for the job. Do you really think someone would toil in the field or chop wood for hours on end dressed in a heavy coat and shiny shoes? If you're gonna have a long, hard day of stealing Indian land, you gotta at least have a shirt that breathes.
Therefore, it was more common to see guys in baggy shirts and pants, and gals in simple dresses. Hats were floppy and buckle-free, and boots were made of beat up leather and tied with bows. On top of that, the image of the demure, black and white puritan is also a myth, as people owned clothes in a range of colors including bright yellows, blues, reds and greens.
Why We Picture it Wrong:
The ninjas can thank the theater. In Edo period theater (which came about one hundred years after ninjas were around), playwrights needed a trick to show how sneaky ninjas were on stage, as well as a way to make them into "invisible" assassins. The stage hands already dressed in all black, so the audience had long been used to ignoring them since they weren't "part of the play." So, actors playing ninjas started dressing up in all black, too. Then the whole audience would jump when one of them would leap out of nowhere and kill a dude. Also, it looks totally badass.
As for the Vikings, Greek and Roman historians wrote about warriors from the North with horned helmets, which in and of itself was just an exaggeration used to make them sound like scarier bad guys for their stories. Also, it looks totally badass.
And the pilgrims, with their black hats and brass buckles on everything? Well, in the early 1600s, there were people who dressed that way, but those were the urban puritans back in England --precisely the people who decided not to become pilgrims and instead stay home in the first place. The reason we have the image of pilgrims dressing the same is because all the existing portraits of people from the era come from England. Also, it looks totally badass.
The Perception:
Occasionally someone will come forward having seen the face of Christ in, say, a hunk of wood, or a toasted sandwich.
And always you can immediately recognize the face because of the trademark long hair and beard. It's maybe the most recognizable face in the world.
White guy, usually even with light hair and eyes. It's not just some pop culture invention; check out this image of Jesus found in the Room of The Segnatura at the Vatican:
Please, no jokes about the naked little boys at the bottom.
The Reality:
As you can probably guess, Yeshua of Nazareth, the man Christians think of as "Jesus Christ" today, actually looked a lot more Middle Eastern seeing as he was... well... actually Middle Eastern.
That's just an artist rendering based on what the average person of the time and place Jesus actually came from looked like, but you get the idea.
Why We Picture it Wrong:
For the dominant image of Jesus as a whitey, we have artists like Leonardo and Michelangelo to thank. A lot of the paintings of Jesus they made during the Renaissance became the "definitive" versions of his image, and they were just portraying him as a handsome Italian man, like everyone else in their paintings.
But the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aren't the only ones to blame; European paintings from the Medieval ages did the same whitewashing, most likely because, in the age of the Crusades, the Church was better off not reminding people they were praying to a little, brown Jew.
"Wait is that the guy we're supposed to Kill or worship? We might need to change our mascot..."
Of course, this racial artistic license isn't exclusive to white people, either--Jesus has been portrayed as Black, Hispanic and Asian, depending on who painted the picture.
The Perception:
You don't need an extensive education in astrophysics to guess what the Big Bang looked like. It's called the freaking Big Bang. It must have been some kind of big ass explosion, right? Hell, even Carl Sagan agrees--after all, that's how he shows it in one of his highly respected documentaries.
"Our Universe began with the mightiest explosion of all time."
- Actual quote from actual Documentary
The Reality:
Since nobody was around to observe it, there is still debate surrounding the exact details of the origins of the cosmos, but it most certainly did not look like an explosion as presented in the above freeze-frame. There are some who say the origin of the universe came in a moment of extremely rapid matter expansion, aka the "Big Bang Theory." But the other, most common, camp is the "steady state" theory, wherein the universe has been expanding at the same rate since day one, and continues to expand at the same pace even now. Either way, though, both sides agree there was no "explosion." Instead the universe expanded like a balloon full of dark matter and other cool sci-fi sounding sciencey stuff.
The main argument between the groups of physicists is basically how fast the balloon inflated, not whether the balloon inflated or exploded in a ball of fire.
Why We Picture it Wrong:
The whole problem comes back to that really misleading name. So, what kind of jerk would come up with the name "Big Bang" if they were a smart enough scientist to know it was more of a "gradual swelling"?
Turns out it was one more opposed to the idea of a Big Bang than most. Fred Hoyle was an astrophysicist firmly on the "steady state" side of the great debate of the birth of life, the universe, and everything. He came up with the phrase "Big Bang" as a way to simply explain the viewpoint he disagreed with, intending people to hear the name and think the idea of a giant explosion giving birth to existence was ridiculous.
This was a gross misjudgment of human nature. As soon as he suggested there was a huge explosion at the birth of the universe, we latched onto that idea and never let it go. Hoyle simply failed to grasp how profoundly our species loves big-ass explosions.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Sept. 20, 2013 – Junior Sam Lofton (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) and senior Lauren Wilson (Coatesville, Pa./Downingtown) scored goals late in the second half to lead the James Madison women's soccer team to a 2-0 win over visiting UNCG in a non-conference game Friday night.
Through 81 minutes of play, JMU outshot UNCG 14-6 but had nothing to show for it. Lofton changed that in the 82nd minute with her first goal of the season, a strike from 25 yards out to the bottom left corner. Senior Becky Sparks (Laurel Springs, N.J./Paul VI) tallied her team-leading fourth assist on the play.
The Dukes never gave the Spartans an opportunity to tie the game, controlling the ball for the remainder of the game. Wilson put the finishing touches on the final score with her second goal of the season, beating the goalie one-on-one with under a minute left in regulation. Junior Katie Hyland (Islip, N.Y./Islip) dribbled into the box and set up the play with a nice pass. The assist gives her a team-high eight points.
Wilson's goal, the 26th of her career, moved her into a tie with Tasha Ellis (1995-97) for 10th on the Dukes' all-time list. She is two goals behind Kerri O'Connell (1990, 92-93) for ninth all-time.
Sophomore Ellen Forrest (Midlothian, Va./James River) made three saves to notch her sixth win and second shutout of the season. Jamie Simmons made four saves for the Spartans.
The Dukes improved to 6-3-0 with their third straight win. The winning streak is the longest since they won three straight in August-September of the 2011 season. The Spartans, the defending regular season champs in the Southern Conference, fell to 4-4-0, losing their first road game after starting the season 3-0.
JMU will travel to Longwood on Sunday for the first ever meeting between the two teams.

CruiserCustomizing Staff: 6pack (BearKiller) from Modesto, CA for a '76 Honda CB750 Chopper 1500 Valkyrie Standard:
Installed these on the Kuryakyn VTX. Comes with two glue tubes, but you really only need one. Use half a tube per grip. PRACTICE installing these if this is your first set of grips. You can also use hairspray to install if you plan on switching out the handlebars in the near future.

Great grip
This is a great grip. I have big hands so it is nicer to grip than skinny stock grips. They are harder to install than the Harley grips because Harley has a dual throttle cable control, Honda's have a throttle sleeve, which means more glue to mess around with. They look great on the bike and I will probably put these on every bike I get. They are also compatible with all aftermarket cruise controls despite how thick they are.

Hi there -
Done this before, but been way off the wagon for quite a while. Ready to start fresh on Monday, and I'd love to have company -- anyone want to join me??
Whatever you can do or dream, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! -Goethe-
Discipline is remembering what you want :-)
I would like to start on 9/23 but I am new to this. Not exactly sure how to get started. I am just navigating the website and trying to understand what to eat etc.
I plan to start on Monday, too! I am so happy someone else is :)
lotsocurl - we can learn together! This will be my first challenge and I am still not quite sure about everything. Just read the book and keep a journal. Planning is key. and you can always find support on here!!
I plan on starting too, knew here to. Dont know what to do though,
Hi All!
So glad to have company :-) The first thing you should do if you haven't is read the book. It's a quick, easy read, and you can probably find it at your local library or used book store.
In a nutshell, the exercise program is: Cardio intervals 3 x week (20 minutes as written, but I usually add a bit more warm-up/cooldown); weight training, alternating upper and lower body 3 x week - a five set pyramid for each body part - I plan to modify this a little for shoulders, bi's and tri's (I''ve had some injuries & I'm in my 50's - too much volume for me to do 5 sets of everything) and to throw in a little functional training.
As far as I'm concerned, that is the easy part. The eating is where I struggle. Eat 6 x day: some carb, some protein, lots of veggies, minimal fat. One cheat day per week. Where I usually fall down is with lacking of shopping/planning ahead. I am also a stress eater, and I tend to self-medicate with food. The good news is that if you do the planning and prep, you really do get to eat plenty, and so frequently that you shouldn't get too hungry.
So I would love to hear everyone's goals and expectations...
How much weight would you like to lose?
Do you have any other strength / performance goals?
What do you think will be the hardest part for you?
What do you think will be the easiest?
What behaviors are you going to need to change?
What routines will you need to develop?
What do you need support for from the group?
Are you going to do before/after pics or measurments?
That should get you started thinking. I am going to think about it and post my own answers tomorrow. Helen
I am going to get my goals written down within the next day. I will let you know. Karen
I am really thankful to have a group to start with on Monday! I did the challenge 4 years ago and the forum was a great support and very helpful. Karen
i would like to start tomorrow, but have little idea of what i am doing. tips from anyone very much appreciated. is there online coaching available? guenevere
miserably out of shape, and needing to make some changes. I wish to be in shape, for my emotional happiness and overall well being.
starting 9/23/2013
Hello! I'll also be joining in this week! Looking forward to it :) -Jess
Not quite sure. My BMI (22.3) is within the normal range. I don't really have weight loss goals per se, maybe 10 pounds. All I know is I really want and need to lose my stomach fat.
Yes. My main goals are to: tone up all over, lose stomach fat & feel better on a daily basis - I look forward to having more energy!!
A couple things: Finding time to prepare all of my meals (and to be motivated to continuously do it properly) & waking up at 5 a.m. to go to the gym. I am not a morning person. I'm the person who turns off her alarm when it goes off and knowingly goes back to sleep even when I have to go to work. I am going to try working out in the mornings so I can have more time in the evenings. Another really difficult thing for me is I don't like to eat a lot of meat. I used to be a vegetarian (not anymore) but I still don't like to eat more than, say, 1 piece of chicken and 1 piece of pork per week. It's going to be very difficult for me to get my protein in my regular (not mid) meals. Last thing - avoiding bad foods. It will still be in my house because my family is not doing BFL with me.
Nothing will be easy - though I think I really have the motivation to do this. I am relying on my motivation for this!!
Everything! Getting up early, going to the gym 6 days a week, stop eating crappy foods on a daily basis, stop eating when I am stressed and when I am not actually hungry.
Gym 6 days a week and planning and preparing my meals ahead of time.
Pushing through all of it - especially the eating part! I will not have full support at home so I will really need you guys to help keep me strong. It always helps me to talk about these things.
Are you going to do before/after pics or measurements? Yes and yes!
It's so wonderful to have a few people starting on the same day as I am! :)
Helen & Karen - Since you are both veterans of BFL, could you answer something for me?
Is it ok to eat meals from the Eating For Life book? I've read many things on this forum saying "that's not good enough" and "you must eat cleaner for results". How did you both eat during your challenges?
I am ready
to start tomorrow! I am on my wat to the grocery store. I am taking my workout clothes to work with me so that I can go straight to the gym after work. I am excited to have a great first day!
I am starting out with small goals! I would like to lose 30 lbs.
I think the hardest thing for me is going to stick to the eating and not cheat! My goal is to get through this first week!
I plan on checking in here every night!
Good Luck everyone!
5 lbs of fat minimum. 10 would be great!
I'd like to be able to do more body-weight centered exercises, I.e. push-ups, pull-ups, tricep dips, but my goals are more nutrition-centered. I need balance, my mood is much better when I'm not constantly eating sugar/fast food.
Planning ahead and making it through stressful afternoons without just losing it and grabbing a cookie or 4.
Lifting weights! Love it :) I will be using a specific workout plan that's not BFL, but nutrition will be BFL.
Eating out. Also drinking cappuccino every day. And kicking alcohol, but I've managed that before.
Cooking on weekends/mornings
Group spirit/ mentality :) I might also just report what I'm doing/eating for a sense of accountability.
Pics, I suppose. I'm less concerned with numbers. I usually judge myself by how my clothes are fitting :D
Ready to go tomorrow morning!!
Wife and I are starting today! I like free day on saturday. Congratulations on your decision to take back your life. I'll be checking on you.

The Columbus Dispatch - May 15, 2013 12:05 PM
The Peregrine falcon that hatched more than two weeks ago on the ledge of the 41st floor of the Rhodes State Office Tower has a name.
Zoom. Fitting since the adults can reach speeds of 175 miles per hour. The name was suggested by students in Ohio and voted on by more than 3,500, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resource's blog.
It appears that Zoom will be the only hatchling this time around for Durand and Spark despite a total of four eggs.
Zoom will be fitted for his band on Tuesday. It will be broadcast on the live cam (which is also where you can watch Zoom and momma and papa be a family.)
The division also keeps an eye on nests at the Bowling Green Courthouse in Bowling Green, at the Chase Bank tower in Canton, and the University of Toledo Bell Tower.

The two teams were locked in a two-point game after the first eight minutes of action. Douglas led 8-6 at the conclusion of the first quarter. The second quarter wasn't so close. The host Tigers outscored the Cougars 17-4 in the period and cruised into halftime with a 25-10 advantage.
"I think we might've gotten a little tired," first-year Cougars coach Art Cardenas said. "I think we got a little worn down and then we relaxed a little bit on defense. We got beat down on the court and then they started hitting shots and got a little momentum."
Spanish Springs managed to slow the bleeding after halftime. Douglas won the third quarter 10-8 and extended its edge to 35-18 going into the final period.
The Tigers poured it on from there, limiting the SSHS crew to just two points in the last eight minutes of play while putting up 12 more of their own.
Hannah Woytek, an all-league guard for the Cougars in their back-to-back 20-win seasons the past two years, was the lone Spanish Springs player to finish in double figures in the scoring column. She accounted for more than half of the local school's offense, finishing with 11 points.
Jessie Jim led the Douglas offense, contributed 14 points to the winning cause. Leonna Mortimer 13.
The opening-night loss was just the second in the 13-year history of the SHS girls hoops program. The other was a 55-52 triple overtime loss to South Tahoe to begin the 2009-10 campaign.
"Our execution has got to get better," Cardenas said. "We had some set plays but we were not on the same page. It's going to take more work. We've got a new system and a whole new playbook with a new coach. It's going to take time to learn everything and get on the same page. It's going to take time to get the system implemented.
"I wish we had a couple days of practice but we have to get right back on the court over the next few days and keep at it."
Spanish Springs will play four more games in the next three days as it hosts its annual Winter Challenge. The Cougars tip off their event Thursday at 4:30 p.m. against Lassen.
In the boys game, Douglas captured a 61-51 Opening Night triumph over its visiting rival from Spanish Springs. The Cougars had taken two of the last three meetings from the Tigers, including a dramatic win two years ago at Douglas when the SSHS cagers threw in a half-court shot at the buzzer to steal an upset victory.
Spanish Springs could not keep it quite that tight on Wednesday. The Cougars trimmed the DHS advantage to five, 55-50, with a minute remaining. Unfortunately for Spanish Springs fans, their club was forced to play the 'foul-and-pray game' from that point on and Douglas extended its edge by knocking down free throws.
The charity stripe was a key difference in the game. Douglas buried 18-of-23 shots from the foul line while Spanish Spring managed to convert just 11-of-22.
Douglas led 13-12 after the first period, but Spanish Springs rallied to go up 29-22 with 2:30 left before halftime. The hosts ripped off a 7-0 spurt to end the second quarter, accounting for a 29-29 halftime deadlock.
Douglas grabbed a 44-39 lead after three quarters and held on for the home win in the DI North crossover league clash.
Spanish Springs' Kenny Meyer turned in a team-high 22 points. Jake Longero added 13 for the Cougars. Austin Evans paced Douglas with 22 while the Tigers 6-foot 10-inch senior post Jim Herrick added 13 points.
Spanish Springs returns to the hardwood Thursday when it starts action in the three-day Wine Valley Classic hosted by Napa, (Calif) High School. The Cougars open against Vintage of Napa at 6:30 p.m.

The Iranian Oil Ministry, the National Iranian Oil Company, and a number of other companies affiliated with the ministry, were targeted by a computer worm on Sunday, but the malware was detected before it could infect the systems, the Mehr News Agency has learnt.
The cyber attack disrupted Internet access at the aforementioned organizations and companies, and the relevant officials are investigating the issue.
However, the Oil Ministry has not yet confirmed the report.
In addition, an unidentified Oil Ministry official told the Mehr on Sunday that the cyber attack had caused no damage.
But the Kharg Island oil terminal, the ministry headquarters, and other facilities were all taken offline, the agency quoted Hamdollah Mohammadnejad, deputy oil minister in charge of civil defense, as saying. Some 80 percent of Iran's daily 2.2 million barrels of crude export goes through the Kharg facility, located off its southern coast.

Bale future enters endgame as Madrid make move
You always wondered what the "special relationship" would be between Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur after the English club allowed Luka Modric a move to the Spanish capital for 33 million pounds last summer.
Spurs made special mention of a partnership agreement that would see "two clubs working together in respect of players, coaching, best practises and commercial relationship" as part of Modric's move to the Bernabeu.
It was a strange announcement at the time, and 12 months on little, if any, evidence has been forthcoming as to what the deal has actually done for either club. Has there been any working together on the commercial side of things? Or swapping ideas of "best practice?" What about the coaching side of things -- has there been any link between the clubs in that respect?
-Real bid 100 million euros for 'unsettled' Bale
-Crace: An offer Spurs can't refuse
-Madrid defeat PSG in friendly
We shouldn't have wondered at all, really. Spurs got some positive publicity for seemingly linking up with one of the biggest, if not the biggest, clubs in world football. Madrid kept their foot in the door for the services of Gareth Bale, a player they have long been tracking and who, over the past season, has become their No. 1 target.
Now that foot in the door is seemingly edging it wider open, with Madrid going for the jugular. A world-record 100 million-euro offer for the Welshman, an offer that, according to reports this weekend, has been turned down by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
It's been the transfer story of the summer, despite big spending on players such as Isco and Asier Illarramendi at the Bernabeu. Despite Neymar's big-money move to Barcelona, and despite the transfer of Gonzalo Higuain from Madrid to Napoli, Bale has grabbed most of the column inches in England and in Spain, and it always seemed a case of "if" and not "when."
With the new season edging closer, it seemed as if Bale, who swept up the player awards in the Premier League last season thanks to his best campaign yet, would spend another season in North London. Madrid had to get their man but, as with Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United, it looked as though the best solution for all parties would be to allow Bale another season at White Hart Lane to help Spurs back into the Champions League before a departure to the Bernabeu.
Only days ago, reports in England suggested Spurs were ready to improve Bale's contract in light of the interest from Spain. That would pay the Welshman well, keep him at Spurs and make Madrid break the bank for his services next summer -- something they would do, with the club wanting Bale at all costs.
Levy and Tottenham may have been keen to emphasise the partnership between the clubs following Modric's sale, but any partnership that was in place could well be smashed to pieces the way Bale's future is heading.
Zinedine Zidane, Madrid's director of football, has made no secret of Bale being at the top of Madrid's wanted list. His move to make that public only acted to put pressure on Spurs and, of course, it was intended. To be wanted by a club the size of Madrid is huge for Bale, and to have Zidane, one of the best midfielders the game has seen, leading the calls for him to grace the Bernabeu only acted as icing on an enticing cake.
"I think Real Madrid have made their admiration of Gareth Bale very clear -- and it has been made clear that we would not be put off by the cost of the player," said the Frenchman, who also added a line about Bale pushing Spurs for a move away if a deal was to come off. "But if Gareth feels now is the time to move, then he has to have a private discussion with his club and express that he wants to leave."
Nice work, Zizou, for Madrid at least. Reports in England now suggest Bale is desperate to leave Tottenham and has been left frustrated at Levy's rejection of Madrid's 100 million-euro offer.
Levy is known to be a tough businessman. But if reports are true that he has rejected Madrid's huge offer, Los Blancos shouldn't have to up the ante that much if they do want Bale this summer.
The former Southampton man has come on leaps and bounds in the past couple of seasons at White Hart Lane, but Spurs were almost ready to part company with the player back in January 2009 when second-tier side Nottingham Forest were preparing a 3 million-pound bid for him after he struggled to adapt to the Premier League with Spurs following his move from Southampton.
Spurs gave him one more chance, and the rest is history. A hat trick in the Champions League at Inter Milan propelled Bale to the world stage and the left-footer continues to go from strength to strength. But a 100 million-euro offer from Madrid is one, clearly, that should not be sniffed at by Spurs given it exceeds the amount Madrid splashed on Ronaldo.
If Zidane's comments helped Bale inform Spurs of his desire to join the Spanish giants, however, it also made Levy well aware that Madrid were desperate to get their man, and well aware that money would be no object. To turn down Madrid's huge offer may seem ridiculous, but it should help Spurs get an extra few million added to the deal. Los Blancos have come so far that they are not going to let an extra 5 million pounds or so get in the way of the deal of the summer.
If the move does go through -- and the advancements over the weekend seem to suggest Madrid wants to get the deal done now, rather than waiting until next summer -- it will provide a huge boost for Los Blancos and a huge sign of intent for the year ahead.
In an offseason when Florentino Perez has been welcoming the top young Spanish talent to the Bernabeu, albeit for a hefty sum, you always wondered if a big, big-name signing -- a Galactico -- would be forthcoming. Madrid had missed out on Neymar to their archrivals Barcelona, while Edinson Cavani, another reported target, moved to Paris Saint-Germain. With Bale seemingly set to stay at Spurs for another year it looked be a relatively quiet year on the transfer front at the Bernabeu.
Now it seems Madrid has been saving the best until last. Perhaps seeing their finances boosted by the sale of Higuain to Napoli was a trigger to go out and get Bale. Let the games begin.
The column inches, on this blog and elsewhere, have been vast over Bale's future. Not just over whether or not he'll make the move, but just where he'll fit into Carlo Ancelotti's team, with Ronaldo favouring a starting role on the left, where Bale has made a name for himself. How would Madrid accommodate him and keep Cristiano a happy bunny?
The Portuguese star favours a starting role on the left-hand side, a position he's excelled in in recent seasons, and a position that Bale has excelled in, too. Ancelotti has tried Ronaldo in a No. 9 role in preseason friendlies, but the former Manchester United man does not enjoy playing there, nor is it his best position.
More likely is that Ronaldo will continue as he has been doing, either in the "regular" 4-2-3-1 formation or an Ancelotti-abridged version. Last season, Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas gave Bale more freedom to roam, especially down the centre of the pitch, and he enjoyed his best season yet. It showed he's versatile, and if the Welshman can play there, why can't he play down the right, too?
If Bale does become Madrid's latest Galactico, Los Blancos will have an embarrassment of attacking riches. The signing of Isco provides Ancelotti with another option, while Mesut Ozil has made playing off the front man on his own in recent seasons. Angel di Maria also remains at the club and, although not hitting his expected heights last season, can add plenty of threat going forward. Let's not forget about Kaka, either, a piece Ancelotti knows very well from their time together at Milan.
It seems the transfer story of the summer is entering its endgame. Fasten your seat belts.

Looks to be a decent card with some contestants from last seasons TUF.
What's the take on the main events? Liddell-Rua & Silva-Leites
I think Liddell is due for a good win. I don't think he is as shot as people or his losses say. Rua wasn't so hot in his last performance either. One may say he is the one who seems to be on a more rapid decline. Either way, it will be a good fight.
Hard to ever pick against Silva but Leites is very tough & solid on the ground. Maybe with a little more seasoning he could be one to upset Silva when he isn't at his best but I don't see it happening especially on the wake of Silva's last lackluster performance.

Federal Title Programs » Home
Title I | Title II | Title III | Title IV | Title V | Title VI | Title VII | Title VIII | Title IX | Title X
Title VI, Part A, Subpart 1 Improving Academic Achievement, Accountability, Grants for State Assessments and Enhanced Assessments
The Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities program helps states develop the assessments required under No Child Left Behind and supports collaborative efforts with institutions of higher education or research institutions to improve the quality of assessment.
Title VI, Part A, Subpart 2 Funding Transferability for State and Local Educational Agencies
This program allows states and school districts to target certain federal funds to the federal programs that most effectively meet their local educational needs. This program empowers states and local communities by giving them more control over resource allocation decisions that will help them to elevate student achievement and close the achievement gap.
Title VI, Part A, Subpart 3(a) State Flexibility ("State Flex") Authority
This program gives up to seven states increased flexibility to demonstrate how certain federal funds may be used flexibly to raise student academic achievement and close the achievement gaps between groups of students. This program allows states and between four and 10 districts within those states to use certain federal funds in ways that they deem to be most productive.
Title VI, Part A, Subpart 3(b) Local Flexibility ("Local Flex") Demonstration
This program provides school districts with the flexibility to consolidate certain federal education funds and use them for any educational purpose permitted under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), in order to assist districts in making adequate yearly progress and in narrowing achievement gaps.
Title VI, Part B, Subpart 1 Rural Education Initiative: Small, Rural School Achievement
This program provides additional formula funds and flexibility in the use of certain federal funds to small, rural districts.
Title VI, Part B, Subpart 2 Rural Education Initiative: Rural and Low-Income Schools
This new program provides additional funds to rural districts that serve concentrations of poor students.
Title VI, Part B, Subpart 3 General Provisions, National Assessment of Educational Progress, National Education Statistics Act
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) provides high-quality data on the achievement of elementary and secondary school students in reading, mathematics, science, and other subjects. NAEP, also known as the "nations report card," is the only nationally based and continuing assessment of what Americas students know and can do in various subject areas.

Eating veggies may prevent cancer cells from growing.
It all started when Chinese scientists fed rice and veggies to some mice. What they learned was kind of amazing: Genetic material from plant foods, called microRNA, altered the expression of some of the critters' genes. Lab rats we are not, but these results, along with other research that found plant microRNA in human blood samples, suggest that microRNA "may block genes that are associated with cancer," says Linda Birnbaum, Ph.D., director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. This knowledge could be crucial to preventing tumors from developing, because most cancers begin when genes switch on or off inappropriately, causing cells to grow out of control. First, though, more research needs to be done to see how plant microRNA works in the human body.
What to do: Eat the good stuff. Lots of it—at least 2 1/2 cups of vegetables and 1 1/2 cups of fruit every day. You'll know you're on the right track if half of what's on your plate at meals is produce. Be sure to mix things up: Different fruit and vegetables contain different microRNA and cancer-fighting antioxidants.
Your perk: Fewer munchies. Produce is full of fiber, which helps keep you full longer, so you eat less.

These sections are now invalid and unenforceable.
The revision increases the tax liability for taxpayers who reported a qualified small business stock exclusion or deferral for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2008.

We are the New Creatives 2014 Digital Art, Illustration
- Famous. Famous is a personal project of portraits in my tradigital style. To produce each illustration I have painted them in a series of layers of squid ink and then using other mediums such as watercolour, pencil, chalk and newsprint for detail. These separate layers are then composited after being scanned to produce the final portraits. 2013 Digital Art, Illustration
- Boheme Vivienne Westwood Illustration for Vivienne Westwood Boheme, the illustrations were produced using squid ink and watercolour. To the watercolour I mixed in crushed pearl to add furhter texture which can be seen on the large print.

Understanding and Auditing
Chris Jones - March 3, 2004

VSPEX for Virtualized Oracle
- Small and Medium-sized Businesses
- Midmarket Companies
- Enable faster deployments
- Increase flexibility and efficiency
- Lower risk
Solution Description
Database management system software continues to be the dominant tool used to manage data in nearly all commercial segments. This growth is expected to continue despite the increasing market share of other data management tools such as in-memory and NoSQL databases.
Oracle databases play a critical role and are at the heart of many IT organizations. Administrators are reluctant to change platforms and risk outage. As a consequence, maintaining such siloed, physical Oracle database environments drives up operation and management costs resulting in an overwhelming proportion of the IT budget being directed to maintenance and updates rather than innovation.
Technology Solution
The EMC VSPEX for Virtualized Oracle solution combines VMware vSphere, customers' choice of physical server and network, EMC VNX unified storage, and EMC backup to deliver an optimized platform for your business-critical databases.
VSPEX enables your organization to streamline management operations, consolidate physical infrastructure, reduce storage requirements, adopt fast disk-based backup, and spend more time on innovation rather than management of your Oracle database environment. Simplify management tasks by leveraging EMC's tight integration with VMware vSphere.
In addition, the VMware Cloud Management suite provides a comprehensive set of tools for the complete management of your virtual environment. With VMware, you can replicate Oracle in minutes, simply and transparently moving the Oracle workload within or across virtual servers. You can also easily create virtual Oracle templates and combine them with storage snaps to create Oracle replicas in minutes.
Technology Partners
Implement the EMC VSPEX for Private Cloud solution with help from the following EMC partners:

I suppose this comes down to trust and whether the sources are trusted. We blindly accept things every moment of our lives. E.g., I blindly accept that nobody is going to speed through a red light and kill me. E.g. I blindly accept that the steel I use in design has a minimum yield stress and meets certain criteria. Sometimes we get burned because a trusted source whether it be a green light or a specification doesnt hold true.
Now the sources, the sources can gain or lose trust. If you get hit alot in intersections you are going to to verify those sources by looking both ways. Bad steel, you are going to request testing before using it.
(I was going to put in a paragraph about scientific method vs the Bible but ommitted to stay on topic)
Now we cant always do this. The world would not function. Imagine stopping for each green light you see. Engineers on this board might imagine performing extensive testing on steel prior to its use.
I think there is a difference. I would much rather go around blindly accepting things than blindly rejecting them because if I didnt, I wouldnt drive anywhere and no buildings would be built.

I believe the flag is actually a limitation on number of people in the backfield. So you can only have 4 in the backfield. Normally the adjunct is true in that 6 people on the line means 5 in the backfield, but not if you only have 10 dudes out there.
As an aside, I remember this play specifically as I was reduced to listening to the game on the radio for the most part. The guys calling the game were going nuts about this and I am surprised to hear that whoever did the game for ESPN didnt mention it.

Ear plugs can be a great way to protect your hearing, but they don't work if they aren't inserted properly. In this extra edition of Healthy U Tips, Dr. Noel Dice demonstrates the proper way to insert earplugs. Whether you are wearing them at work or while you are doing yard work, keep these simple steps in mind to protect your hearing. For other ways to protect hearing at any age, watch "How to Protect Your Child's Hearing" video, which also features Dice, an audiologist at Peakview Medical Center ENT and Audiology in Greeley.

Hearing loss affects about one-fifth of Americans aged 12 and older, a far higher number than previously believed, researchers report.
Hearing loss can occur for many reasons. Sometimes it occurs as people age. Sometimes it occurs after a long exposure to loud sounds. Learn more about hearing and hearing loss by taking this quiz.
What did you say? For many of us, that's a common question. Nearly 30 million Americans have some form of hearing loss, including one of every three people ages 65 to 75. Yet just a fraction of us seek help. Why?
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), nearly 28 million Americans are experiencing hearing loss, and 500,000 to 750,000 suffer with severe hearing loss or deafness.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:
